Topic: {CLOSED} In search of team -- apply within (Read 1621 times)

Freshly minted 1st year Beacon student seeks strong, capable teammates. Applicants, please provide a short summary of your character plus a link to the completed profile. The following positions are open:

Leader / Brawler:Chris Sebei"The Tiger", as he's known professionally, is a fearless and aggressive brawler who brings speed, strength, and twin machine pistol nunchucks to the team in addition to his confident, charismatic leadership approach.

Scout / Fast Attacker:Drevin SrebraDrevin is a dual blade rapid striker with a gift for both speed and stealth, making him an excellent forward scout. He's quiet and reserved by nature with a curious propensity of perching in high places.

Dust Swordsman:Graham DylandyGraham is a close-quarters duelist who fights left-handed and augments his blade skills with clever Dust applications. He sees himself as a combat technologist and has the money and determination to prove his theories on the battlefield.

Defense / Support Protector:Rory VogelRory is a dual-shield defensive/support fighter with a talent for recon and analysis, as well as guarding his teammates in combat. His personality is strongly introverted and more than a little cautious around others, however he is reliable and can be fiercely loyal to those he trusts.

Well I do have one (living) student, so why not. Drevin Srebra's kind of an edge lord, but he's a speed demon if ever you saw one. He's a good scout because he's stealthy and he's fast. His profile is pretty simplistic if you want more detail.

Okay gotta agree with Natendo here, this is a really really well-organized thread I mean like shiiiiiiit. Back in my day they were just composed of a slightly awkward greeting meant to sound cool, stating the obvious that they're looking for a team because they have a new character, and a 'not first come first serve' thing that wasn't true 50% of the time because people got tired of waiting, all in very, very casual speech.

But seriously, props to you.

Thanks for having Drevin join up! It seems our lil' family is just full of trauma and dysfunction -- all the better for plots later on! Now all we need is a fearless leader to unite our not-so-merry pack of misfits and we're all set. ^_^

And thanks for the compliment Mythic (and Nathan)! I've helped run forums in the past so I guess the impulse to keep the recruiting thread organized comes from that. I'm glad you both think so highly of it! xD

If you want someone who's fearless, look no further than Chris "The Tiger" Sebei. His natural confidence and ability to improvise means he is suited well for a leadership position. He gets up close and personal, and can use his skillset to allow his teammates' fighting styles to thrive. His natural charisma would be a good off-set for the personalities of the other characters.

Awesome that you guys got a team together so quickly, once you all agree on a name you will need to think of a color that fits said name, though with the world tree as the basis you'll have quite a few options.

I do really like Yggdrasil, but I'm kind of a sucker for things that sound big and ancient. We could definitely do Cider if we were going for a more reserved team that isn't trying to be anything super important.

Hmm... okay, so it looks like we've got a tie between CYDR "Cider" and YDRC "Yggdrasil". I can see both working out pretty well honestly; YDRC is kinda epic but doesn't have an obvious color tie-in, whereas CYDR is simple and strong with a clear color connection.

Mikelobmike, can I ask you to cast the deciding vote? I'm kinda torn on this, honestly, and it seems appropriate that our team leader picks the name.

Side note: Yea or nay on an initiation event? Cast your votes teammates.
